A new single release from Michelle Lockey hits with a cinematic vastness but also a very personal and honest approach that gets you quickly attached to the song itself but also to her as a person.
The way that she opens up and wears her heart on her sleeve is very one on one but it's the way she articulates her words that really make that impactful connection because then things become even more relatable.
"Why Don't You Choose Me?" is one of those songs where you picture your own situations from your own life and people from your world and that's not something you come along often so when it happens it's very refreshing...... Click HERE to read full article.

I Should've Done Better' Review by Abby Kenna
Michelle Lockey’s “I Should’ve Done Better” is a graceful work of self-reflection, decorating healthy communication with acoustic pop elegance.

The song builds around a warm guitar progression, lightly plucked to provide buoyant, agile percussion. Lockey is careful to not let her arrangement speak over the message of her lyrics, working in subtle, atmospheric instruments rather than blaring rock kits.

While ethereal synths resonate in rafters, mild layers of vocal harmonies buzz close to the front of the mix. Echoing with expansive reverb, each of these elements intertwines to depict Lockey’s genuine intention. Click to READ MORE.......

For fans who have never heard your music, can you pick three words to describe it?! If three words just aren't enough, then tell us more!!

My music can range from dark to happy, from Indie to singer-songwriter to straight-up pop. It just depends on what is happening in my life at the time. I write in a variety of styles, so there are plenty of songs to satisfy a listener's taste. I usually gear toward the darker side, because it helps me process my feelings and emotions and I hope helps others too. But I do like to write some heartwarming songs as well, and sometimes some extremely happy upbeat songs!
A lot of my music has also appeared in Film & TV- including a song in a movie with John Travolta!

What is your favorite part about being an artist? Is it songwriting, performing, recording, something else?) Tell us why. ....
